Hello 5/6 Families!

Thanksgiving is already upon us and cooler weather.  I love this time of year in Arizona.  Perfect weather and so many beautiful spaces to visit, hike, and enjoy outside.

Cohort 3, 4, & 5 will be having a salad day during lunch on Tuesday, November 22, 2016.  Your student is welcome to bring in any salad dressings, croutons, salad toppings, forks and paper plates. We will set up salad from our garden in my classroom.

We are finishing up force and motion this week and beginning our Solar System projects.  This will be completed at school.

Wednesday, November 23 is the beginning of our school holiday.  No School on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.  Enjoy this time off with your family. :)

Coach Brown returns to work today, November 21.  We are so happy to welcome her back to ASU Prep.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support for the 2016 FUN RUN!  We had over 75% participation which made it possible for everyone to enjoy a FREE snow cone.  The students did a great job running and participating on Friday.  Thank you to parents who volunteered and helped out that day.  You helped make the day run smoothly, and we appreciate it very much!

Summative will be on December 6, 2016 at 5:00 pm.  We hope you will be able to come and see what your child has been working on here at school.

We also have a Citrus Cafe coming up on Friday, December 2nd.  We will be sending out a flyer for this activity.

Winter break begins on Thursday, December 22, 2016 and ends January 2nd. Students return Jan. 3.

I am thankful that I get to spend my days at ASU Prep everyday with amazing children that are clever, smart, and funny.  I am grateful for ASU Prep families who go above and beyond to support their children's education.  I am honored to spend time with your children.  I am thankful to be a teacher and to wear all of the different hats that come with being a teacher.  I am thankful for my family who support me in my efforts as a mother, wife, and teacher.  And, I am grateful for good friends and my fur babies.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  I'll see you back on Monday, November 28!
